The point is, I don't put much faith in people. I assume that if my secret ever got out, my life as I know it would be over.
My friend Joe hooked up (I think you know what I mean) with a couple girls in highschool but he had to keep that shit secret because if it got out that these girls had sex with a guy with autism...imagine the Salem witch trials but it's 10 times worse
I pretty much agree with you.
The people who know I have an autism diagnosis are very close friends and family, and that's about it. Most of the people who know were pretty surprised when I told them.
I recall a particular quote by a guest once, "I didn't believe you were autistic until I saw all these "remember (x)" lists you put up in the apartment."
My apartment runs on post-its.
